The private diary of James G. McDonald (1886–1964) offers a unique and hitherto unknown source on the early history of the Nazi regime and the Roosevelt administration's reactions to Nazi persecution of German Jews. Considered for the post of U.S. ambassador to Germany at the start of FDR's presidency, McDonald traveled to Germany in 1932 and met with Hitler soon after the Nazis came to power. Fearing Nazi intentions to remove or destroy Jews in Germany, in 1933 he became League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and sought aid from the international community to resettle outside the Reich Jews and others persecuted there. In late 1935 he resigned in protest at the lack of support for his work. This is the eagerly awaited first of a projected three-volume work that will significantly revise the ways that scholars and the world view the antecedents of the Holocaust, the Shoah itself, and its aftermath.

Julius Fein examines the French response to the large number of German refugees between 1933 and 1938. Fein demonstrates how the Quai d’Orsay sought a compromise between the Republican canon, which said France must help the persecuted, and the factors that limited its willingness to accept refugees, including economic depression, mass unemployment, anti-Semitism, and anti-German sentiment.

New evidence presented in Refugees and Rescue challenges widely held opinions about Franklin D. Roosevelt's views on the rescue of European Jews before and during the Holocaust. The struggles of presidential confidant James G. McDonald, who resigned as League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 1935, and his allies to transfer many of the otherwise doomed are disclosed here for the first time. Although McDonald's efforts as chairman of FDR's advisory committee on refugees from May 1938 until nearly the end of the war were hampered by the pervasive antisemitic attitudes of those years, fears about security, and changing presidential wartime priorities, tens of thousands did find haven. McDonald's 1935-1936 diary entries and the other primary sources presented here offer new insights into these conflicts and into Roosevelt's inconsistent attitudes toward the "Jewish question" in Europe. Following the lauded Advocate for the Doomed (IUP, 2007), this is the second of a projected three-volume work that will significantly revise views of the Holocaust, its antecedents, and its aftermath.

Persuasive questioning and argument in our courts and tribunals need skills in case preparation and techniques of presentation. Those skills and techniques are gained by a combination of understanding and practice.This book explains the 'what', the 'why' and the 'how' of basic skills and techniques. The reader is then ready to practice.Knowing the needs and wants of the audience, identifying the links among legal concepts, facts and witnesses, are at the heart of case preparation. That knowledge guides the content and tone of both argument and opening address.Of course the advocate must also be able to ask questions that both bring out the evidence in an acceptable manner and keep the right level of control over each witness.Advocacy is a skill that can always be improved, whether the practitioner is renowned or a novice. This is a book for the new comer, an explanation and illustration of the essential first steps along the road to renown.

Over the past two decades, independent director Gregg Araki has emerged as one of the most intriguing auteurs of contemporary U.S. cinema. A leading figure of the New Queer Cinema movement of the early 1990s, Araki is known for his innovative, eye-opening, and at-times-controversial films aimed primarily at queer audiences. Images for a Generation Doomed: The Films and Career of Gregg Araki explores the films and career trajectory to date of this New Queer Cinema pioneer. Offering in-depth analyses of films such as The Living End, Totally F***ed Up, The Doom Generation, Nowhere, and Splendor, Kylo-Patrick R. Hart demonstrates how, over the course of the 1990s, the director's cinematic offerings became increasingly devoid of their early subversive potential. Hart goes on to argue that as the 1990s progressed, Araki's films were largely irrelevant to the cultural project of providing groundbreaking on-screen representations of non-heterosexual individuals living in the age of AIDS. However, Hart sees Mysterious Skin as evidence of Araki's successful attempt at reestablishing his cinematic and cultural relevancy in relation to the approaches and subject matter of contemporary queer cinema in the new millennium.

In chaos theory, the butterfly effect refers to the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where minimal changes in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can lead to large differences in a later stage. Beyond the climate sciences, the concept of the domino effect is similarly used as a broader term for any situation in which a relatively minor change is expected to cause significant black swan events. In this context, the simple flap of a butterfly's wings can trigger tornados in far distant regions. But it was not long before the beginning of this millennium that almost simultaneously and everywhere such butterflies began to swarm. Under these circumstances, the Doomsday Clock appears to have lost its pendulum as its hands spin faster and faster. Any serious problem like this requires a devil's advocate to hold up the worst-case scenario to the public, so they simply cannot look away. As a former chief executive officer, the author is well aware of the importance of psycho-sociologically driven collective behaviors—no matter the state of affairs. That's why the novelist focused on the underlying group dynamics with regard to an imminent ecological apocalypse when he plotted the storyline on hand. His protagonist, a man, badly scarred by the suicide of his wife, who wanted to take him with her to the death, fulfils the most ardent wish of his youth and goes on a circumnavigation of the globe on the yacht La Vie—which he reconstructed from a mere wreck. Nevertheless, even in the remotest corners of the earth, he cannot escape himself. On his journey, he meets strong women who lead him back to life. Together they develop an ingenious gambit to save our planet Earth from an environmental doomsday after all—and provocatively hold up a mirror to society. A passionate novel about perseverance and an escape from one's own failures along winding paths, authentically told by an author who draws on a wealth of life experience. A story that illustrates that every failure carries the immanent obligation to change.
